THE WIDER PICTURE
Team SRS SOS MARGIN TO +/-
Saints -5.2 -1.1 -4.1 +11
Panthers -5.4 -2.9 -2.5 -2
SRS is how many points a side beats an average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20. SOS is how hard that schedule has been. Full table.

Counted from the weeks each man actually held his team — so a franchise that changed hands is not credited to whoever has it now. Nothing above is a playcall: the export does not carry those, and neither does this.
THE SERIES AL-Saints against Casp — the men, not the teams
All square at 1-1. AL-Saints won the last one.
2 meetings avg 24.5 — 30.0 biggest: 25 pts to Casp
S1 · week 14 AL-Saints 35 — 21 Casp AL-SAINTS
S1 · week 10 AL-Saints 14 — 39 Casp CASP
Only meetings Sapphire can attribute to both men are counted — a Madden export never says who owned a team last season, so the series starts where the record does.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
